"A Erenchman Suicides,

New York, May pa dispatch from
Boston yesterday said that an unknown
in a high state of excitement
and only partially dressed, boarded an
outgoing New York train, saying his
daughter was on board and running away
'ssSHo a man. He found his daughter in
coy lGapy with an elderly woman. She
self beneath the wheels while the train
was going fifty miles an hour and was in.
stantly killed. His identity is unknown.
The matter was investigated by reporters
here to-day, and the girl and her friends
found. They say the suicide is known
IN Boston as o music teacher under the
name of Auguste DeSempe. but
that he was in reality Count de
LaTourasse. a member OF an
old and noble family; that he was q
notary and attorney in France. but that
he was ruined by his passion for gamb-
ling and fled to this country, a defaulter
for a very large sum, that he lived here
with a woman not his wife, who died
two years ago leaving two children; that
he sent to France for his daughter Marie,
one of q large family left there. She
after her arrival, learned of his wrong
doing, and on that account, and it ls in,
timated, on account of his demeanol
toward her, consulted q priest and
under his imperative advice, decided to
leave him and return to France. 1t wat
in the execution of this design that she
left for New York yesterday. The
fugitive was Sollmnis Marie Charles
Louis Armedee de Sorbiers de la Tour
asse. He was the eldest son of Francis
co de Soldiers de lie Touresse of Castle O
Saint Pierre de la Tourasse.

An EIectric HaadIight.

Omaha Bee: The neat little engine
which draws the. train from Council
Bluffs to this city and also to South
Omaha has the distinction of being the
first locomotive with an electric head
light west of the Missouri river. The
locomotive has a complete immature
dynamo attachment on the left side OF
the boiler near the cab. The escape
steam from the boiler is utilized to work
a small cylinder and piston rod and from
this power the dynamo brush is caused
to revolve as rapidly and hum as merrily
as ii it were an attachment
to a metropolitan arc light plant.
There is claimed to be no loss
of power to the locomotive and
the apparatus ls SO small that it would
scarcely be noticeable except to a ma
chinist or engineer. The light which
it furnishes is equal to that of a street
arc lamp, and when increased by the
headlight lens becomes sufficiently pow.
erful to illuminate the track as ii by the
MONDAY sun.
"What would you do if the dynamo
should go out OF whack?" was asked
of Mr., George O. Kyle, travelling agent
for the American electric headlight
company last night, "Wny, just substi-
tute the regular lamp" he answered,
until q station should be reached and
the electric apparatus could be fixed.'
Suiting his remark he stepped on the
pilot with o lamp, took ont the carbone
and slipped the reliable oil lamp in. II
required but q half minute to do so.

q hals hour. He expressed himself as
convinced that the proposed line would
pay and that it ought 30 be built at
once.
When questioned by q reporter as to
the financial help which Omaha was ex-
pectedsto extend to the railroad the
Yankton gentlemen stated that they had
calculated $3.50, coo of the required
$500,000 could be raised in Yanktor,
Wayne and st. Helena. This would
leave $3.50, 900 for Omaha to contribute.
The delegations considered that the
construction of such q line would both
benefit their towns and would, at the
same time, add 20 900 people to Omaha
in two years. They state that the secre-
tary OF the board of trade assured them
that as soon as this railroad was assured
u large elevator and All extensive flour
ing mill would be erected. The connec.
ton which such a railroad would give
Omaha with the corn raising belt OF
southern Dakota and the wheat
growing region OF central Dakota could
not but greatly enlarge our market oil
products. 1t is claimed that, in reality
this road would be the missing spoke in
the wheel of which Omaha is the hub.
Yaukton is connected directly witt
Mitchell and Huron by the Northwest
ern road, and thus Omaha would become
directly connected with the great Da
kota region which these roads reach into
including the fertile James river valley

The city has no tools for performing

tenn, each incumbent, as also the plumb
ers. having consulted his own con-
%venience, instead of the water ordinance,
and put in such water locks as were
most convenient, sometimes with good
boxes, sometimes with poor boxes, and
in some places no box whatever to cover
the stops, and now | find that the in
conyeniences resulting from this system
will become more complicated each year,
which to avoid L would recommend that
the city put IN the service pipe from the
main to the curb. including the curb
stop and box, giving it to the consumer
for the actual cost to the city. Plumbers
to commence the work at the curb stop,
further than which the city is not re-
ST onslble for the plumbing. The CITY is
| without plat or drawing of its water
system, and while this is a serious in
convenience now, it will grow worse and
more difficult to handle as the system ls
extended. l would recommend that the
CITY engineer be instructed to draw a
plan of the water system of The CITY,
L further recommend that the city
furnish q book of record for the use Of
the superintendent, in which he will be
required to keep a complete record OF
the system and all extensions therein
including private seSyioe pipes. The
necessity of this booksof record Is dem
onstrated in the difficulty of locating
taps in service pipes now laid, and also
in the fact that there ere service pipet
now in use that are not in the contract
or service book of the city. I herewith
submit for your approval a plan of boob
